You guys should realize something: professors like myself, who are not even US citizen (I have a green card) have the power to support student visas for foreigners, and facilitate the obtention of such student visas by providing research funding for the students.
Where it gets scary is that in the fields of maths and science, many of the professors are foreigners themselves, and tend to bring in students from their country of origin. Chinese professors are notorious for that, and many of their research crew are chinese.
So, it is funny that Bush not only is going to war to secure oil reserves for the chinese, but he is also funding the education of their students...just because there are not enough local US candidates.
